Anxiously anticipating my 100th post at THE CUP sometime in the next several days, I’m starting this week off by throwing a li’l party. And YOU, John (and Jane) Q. Reader are invited.
Ok, so maybe 100 posts doesn’t mean much to any hard-core bloggers any more than a 135lb squat would impress a gym rat . I just [...]

America Forfeits World War II

Turns out Floyd Landis lost his case and has to forfeit his 2006 Tour de France title.
He claims he didn’t use banned performance enhancing drugs while the tests supposedly say otherwise.
We’re really only talking about riding a bike over some hills, right?
When it comes down to it, only Floyd knows the truth. If he’s honest with [...]
I’m So Happy I Was Born Without A Uterus

It should come as no surprise when I say I will never understand women.
Fortunately, I do have estrogen-dominant friends who are willing to explain things to me in real simple terms.
What you’re about to read is a REAL letter from a REAL person. I got her permission to post it here at The Cup as long as I [...]
In The Land Of The Blind, The One-Eyed Man Is King

I went to the gym yesterday to squeeze in a couple games of racquetball with my friend Eric.
He was late as usual (presumably had something to do with the Fed’s 1/2 point rate cut), so as I was patiently waiting outside our court, I noticed something odd in the bottom corner of the “Court 1″ sign. It was braille.
Don’t get [...]
Will You Please Stop Staring At Me?!

Maybe it has nothing to do with my choice of footwear afterall.
Could a new report from livescience.com explain why I get the feeling I’m always being watched?
I’m never been one to gamble, but my money stays on the shoes.
Feed The War

Perhaps the most ironic twist of fate ever, the very downfall of our society might just be the powerful weapon we need to enlist to finally end the war in Iraq.
The solution is suprisingly simple and can be summed up in only two words: Fast food.
Now hear me out. I’ve thought this through for at least 15 minutes and I know it [...]
Hillary Rodham Clinton Breaks World Bench Press Record?

One of my fitness industry peers and current blogger of the month over at JPfitness - a month after The Cup wore the crown, I should note - fitness vixen Leigh Peele has thrown down the gauntlet, drawn a line in the sand, went “nah-nah-na-boo-boo” and slapped me right across my (virtual) face by challenging me to a little game [...]
Wish I’d Thought Of That!

While my personal and professional opinions of commercial gyms is fairly well-documented (starting with my chapter in The Power Of Champions), perhaps my friend and fellow MF-er Jason Ferrugia says it best in this post.

You do have some experience lifting weights, don’t you?
(here’s the part where you say ‘Yes, Joe. Of course I do.’)
Great! Then you probably know exactly what I’m talking about when I refer to ”porn star ass” and “armadillo back”.

America Gets Shafted
Posted in Humor, Joe, Opinions are like… on September 11, 2007 | 3 Comments »
How can the USA expect to maintain it’s status as the lone global superpower when we don’t even have an appropriately named exercise to show our superiority in the weight room?
You may see why this is troubling to me when you consider the following list of ‘national exercises’:
Romanian deadlifts
Turkish get-ups
Bulgarian split-squats
Roman chair sit-ups
Russian twists
French press
Cuban press
Chek press (yes, [...]
